Sandy Wood

Sandy Wood began work at mental_floss magazine in 2002, making him the company's longest-serving employee. He and wife Kara Kovalchik began publishing daily facts ("The Fact of the Day") and quizzes ("Five Questions"), the latter of which is still updated on mentalfloss.com every weekday. They've co-written five books, including their latest, mental_floss Trivia, and contributed to several others. They've also composed content for mental_floss board games, calendars, TV and radio appearances, and more. Sandy was born and raised in Danielsville, Georgia, and now resides with his wife of 20 years in Birmingham, Michigan.

DID YOU KNOW? Marlon Brando hated memorizing lines so much that he posted cue cards everywhere to help him get through scenes.
He even asked for lines to be written on an actress's posterior. (That request was denied.)
